Armstrong is facing off against Bobby Eberle of Pearland. Eberle is a long-time Republican activist who founded GOPUSA, an internet site that claims 600,000 subscribers nationally.

Eberle was drawn into a national controversy in 2005 when questions were raised about whether a reporter for his Talon News, Jeff Gannon, legitimately deserved White House press credentials. Gannon resigned during the controversy, which included disclosures that he had posed nude on an Internet site for male escorts.

Eberle said Gannon was a volunteer reporter and had been surprised when he received White House press credentials.
